Configure globally unique store identifiers [AX 2012]

Store identifiers in Retail installations of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, and Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 are shared globally across companies. Therefore, when you upgrade an installation of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 for Retail that has multiple companies, you must assign a globally unique identifier to each store.

Additionally, because Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 and R3 support data partitioning, globally shared store identifiers can exist only for companies that are contained in a single data partition. If you have multiple partitions that contain multiple companies, you must perform the following procedure separately on each partition. For more information about data partitions, see Plan for data partitioning.

Note

Administrators who configure store IDs should use a consistent numbering scheme that complies with the retailer’s business requirements.

Use the following procedure to map old store identifiers to new identifiers.
